Current Issues in Comparative Education (CICE) is an international online, open-access journal inviting diverse opinions of academics, practitioners, and graduate students.

Established in March 1997 by a group of doctoral students from Teachers College, Columbia University, CICE is dedicated to serving as a platform for debate and discussion of contemporary educational matters worldwide.

The journal shares its home with the oldest program in comparative education in the US, the Teachers College Comparative and International Education Program, founded in 1898.

Announcements

Education, Value-systems and Global (Dis)orders

Oct 15, 2025

For the 2026 Special Issue, CICE welcomes submissions that explore how education both responds to and reflects world values, conflicts, crises, and shifts in the global order. While grounded in the field of comparative and international education, we also invite contributions from related disciplines, including sociology, economics, philosophy, history, anthropology, and political science.

We encourage submissions from scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in the reshaping of the global order and its implications for education and schooling, as well as the value systems they carry into the present and future.

Manuscripts (papers, article responses, essays, and book reviews) in English are accepted.

Submit here. 

Submission Deadline: January 23, 2026
